<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1583717, member: 24091"]I found in the postal manual where negotiable instruments that can be converted to cash without forgery are limited to $15 insurance coverage regardless of loss when sent insured without registration. This includes currency and bullion (specifically, bullion was stated in the regulation). Nothing about rare coins per se. Since I send mostly obsolete denominated rare world coins, I should think I would be covered. Amazing how many specific regulations there are. In case you ever want to mail a chicken, be sure to read the fine print in the USPS Manual first:</p><p><br /></p><p>j.
